Are Land Acknowledgements meaningful or performative?
Land Acknowledgements in Canada are becoming increasingly popular amoungst public events, corporate gatherings.
Have you ever stopped to wonder why they started? and when declaring Indigenous Territorials lands at the beginning of gatherings became the standard low hanging fruit for Reconciliation efforts?
After speaking with many Indigenous leaders, elders, and knowledge keepers regarding Land Acknowledgements, it became clear that this indeed is another act of performance driven opportunity for colonial-minded leaders to feel like their making a difference.
Don't get me wrong, there are a few benefits of performing land acknowlegements which I mention in the video, but it's important to keep in mind these 3 SIGNS that your land acknowledgement is performative.
This is a new and interesting topic that can lead to very insightful conversations and I can't wait to read what your opinion is on Land Acknowledgements. ❤️
